The NRA has no lobbying body, they are an organization that promotes safety and marksmanship.
The NRA-ILA is where the lobbying for Legislative Action occurs. They are as separate as VW and Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT and Skoda.
Disappointed that you misunderstood my previous post, so to provide clarification on the organization of the oldest civil rights organization in this country perhaps this will assist...
The NRA is governed by a board of 76 elected directors by 'vote of those members who have voting rights'. These elected directors choose a president, one or more vice presidents, an executive vice president (
the leading spokesperson for the organization), a secretary, and treasurer from among their fellows. Two other officers are also elected by the board: the executive director of the NRA General Operations and
the executive director of the
NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). as like any other corporate entity, the NRA has created and controls individual 501s, PACs etc., under the specific control of different segments of the corporation.
Allan D. Cors is organizational president and Wayne LaPierre the organization's executive vice president, and functions as the chief executive officer, while Chris W. Cox is the executive director of the NRA's lobbying branch, the Institute for Legislative Action. Kyle Weaver is executive director of general operations. Kayne B. Robinson is executive director of the General Operations Division and chairman of the Whittington Center.
BTW to provide a further clarification it is the Porsche Corporation who has a chairman to oversee the corporation international activities of Porsche which controls the following: VW, which oversees Bentley, Bugatti, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, MAN trucks, Scandia.
Back to my initial point...Fallschirmjäger, et al., could you please tell me with any specificity which NRA entity the initial OP and follow on rants are talking about?
